A forest without trees would be tree graveyard. There would be no life since all trees rely on fungi to aquire water and nutrients. As the trees died of dehydration, there would be nothing to decay them, since fungi are the main organisms to degrade the recalcitrant components of wood (e.g. lignin). Many animals would also die, since they rely on edible mushrooms (most of these would be insects). The few organisms that would survive would be plants that do not associate with fungi, bacteria, and the microbes that hunt bacteria.
